JM Smucker announced the release of its new product, Uncrustables Meat and Cheese Bites from its Smucker's Uncrustables brand. The new product can go straight from the freezer to the lunchbox and be ready to consume. Known primarily for its frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the latest product offerings are frozen bites filled with meat, cheese and soft bread. "Smucker's Uncrustables have become a fan favourite," said Chris Achenbach, Director of Brand Strategy, The J.M. Smucker Co. Achenbach added: "Kids and parents love the fun flavours that began with PB&J. To offer an even wider variety, we have now added tasty, wholesome meat & cheese bites that are perfect for the lunchbox." New Smucker's Uncrustables Meat and Cheese Bites come in two varieties including Uncured Ham and Cheddar as well as Turkey & Colby Jack. Each product pack will be available in the US beginning early October.
